Colombian Pipeline Bombing Incidents with Municipal and Department Data

Colombian data on attacks against critical oil pipeline infrastructure. The dataset includes columns for municipality, department, incident count, and date. It is hosted by the Colombian government's open data portal, www.datos.gov.co, and was last updated on 2026-05-19.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal attack patterns using the FECHA HECHO (date) column.
• Map incident hotspots by department and municipality using the DEPARTAMENTO and MUNICIPIO columns.
• Quantify the intensity of attacks in specific regions using the CANTIDAD (quantity) and COD_DEPTO (department code) columns.
• Cross-reference incidents with other socio-economic datasets using the COD_MUNI (municipality code) as a potential join key.

Strengths

• Provides structured identifiers (COD_MUNI, COD_DEPTO) for geographic analysis.
• Includes a temporal dimension with the FECHA HECHO column.
• Hosted on an official government open data platform (www.datos.gov.co).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or reporting bias inherent to the source platform.
